Ava... poor Ava. She thought she was Shannon, daughter of two loving parents, eager to take her home. But she wasn't. So sad. And who can blame her for feeling so angry with Alex? She was taking out her sadness on him, but she sort of had a point, didn't she?
Izzie. Oh my goodness. Such heartbreak there. Where does she fit in? She's a child's (biological) mother... a child in desperate need of a lifesaving transplant, and yet, the little girl doesn't want to meet her. And at the same time, she is feeling abandoned by George. The man she's realized she's in love with.
I'm torn on that one. George is married. He chose Callie. And to put Izzie first is wrong, if he's going to stay married. But then... is Callie really the one for him?
Where does Callie fit in? She caught George in a lie. That's not a good sign. There's a train wreck coming in this plot line. Fasten your seatbelts. Someone's going to get hurt.
Cristina and Burke... gracious. What a mess. Cristina isn't sure she's being true to herself, and her icky ex-lover/teacher was the one to point that out. Part of me thinks the way she tried to build up Burke after his humiliating performance in the OR was kind. Sweet. Loving. But I wonder if she was compromising for her relationship's sake... or compromising herself.
Okay. The Bear in the Living Room.
What is Derek thinking? Could this possibly be happening. Could he POSSIBLY consider breaking things off with Meredith for a chance to be Chief? I don't know about you guys, but I would be one ticked off MerDer fan if that happened. After all they've been through? In any case, it's not like breaking up with Meredith could really solve things. Unless we're to believe he could simply turn off his feelings like a light switch. Yeah. Right. I'm staying tuned, but I'm on edge about this.
Guess we'll see what happens next week, won't we?
